Unlocking the QPE Mystery: Star-Disk Collisions in Realistic AGN Disks
Zhaohuan Zhu, Xiaoshan Huang, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring soft X-ray outbursts observed in the nuclei of low-mass galaxies. They display two remarkable trends: outburst durations are…
2D hydrodynamical simulations of Be star decretion disc formation through boundary layer effects
Madeline Overton, Zhaohuan Zhu, Rebecca G. Martin +1
Be stars are massive main-sequence stars rotating close to their breakup rate. They possess a decretion disc of material built up due to mass loss from the star, however, there is…
Resolving Oblique Star-Disk Collisions in Quasi-Periodic Eruptions: Numerical Requirements and the Importance of Geometry
Shunquan Huang, Xiaoshan Huang, Zhaohuan Zhu +1
Star-disk collisions have been proposed as a promising mechanism for producing quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei. Because the stellar atmospheric scale height is o…
Primordial planet spin driven by boundary layer effects in a decretion disc
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +4
Accretion of material from a protoplanetary disc on to a forming giant planet can spin the planet up to close to its breakup rate, , where $M_{…
Formation of Be star decretion discs through boundary layer effects
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +3
Be stars are rapidly rotating, with angular frequency around of their Keplerian break up frequency, as a result of significant accretion during the earlier stellar evolut…
Global 3-D Simulations of Magnetospheric Accretion: II. Hot Spots, Equilibrium Torque, Episodic Wind, and Midplane Outflow
Zhaohuan Zhu
Global 3-D magnetohydrodynamical simulations have been conducted to study magnetospheric accretion around stars with various spin rates. For slow rotators, characterized by a fastn…
